Developing The Management Agreement

Developing The Management Agreement

Real estate management, as a business, is based on relationships with property owners—relationships that must be established, nurtured, and maintained.

Most management arrangements are entered into with both parties intending to establish a long-term relationship. Over time, however, any relationship can become strained.

The fact that the real estate being managed is a source of income for both the owner and the real estate management company subjects real estate management relationships, in particular, to possible misunderstandings.

Rent Growth Projections: Using The SEOTA Process

Rent Growth Projections: Using The SEOTA Process

The truth about real estate investing is anyone can find a property to buy.  The issue comes with non-experienced investors/sponsors, or investors who are not patient, who overpay for the asset, or have a business plan that is tough to implement.  In the sea of multi-family real estate, the waters are red from deal sponsors competing for properties fueling the increased price in real estate and reducing investor returns.  Despite the red waters, there are still opportunities for those who are creative, patient, and disciplined in their search.

It is a lot of work, time and commitment to find the right investment opportunities.  If you are getting active in multi-family real estate investing or would like to learn more about passively investing please subscribe and join us each week.

Understanding Operating Expense Ratios

Understanding Operating Expense Ratios

The operating expense ratio (OER) is very common in real estate analysis, whereby analysts are measuring the costs to operate a piece of property versus the income it generates. 

Why the Operating Expense Ratio Matters

Operating expenses are costs associated with running a business's core operations on a daily basis. Thus, the lower a company's operating expenses are, the more profitable it generally is. Over time, changes in the OER indicate whether the company can increase sales without increasing operating expenses proportionately (i.e., if the business is scalable). In multifamily real estate, companies can compare properties by using the ratio.

Performing Due Diligence: Forensic Audits & Evaluating The Rent Roll

Performing Due Diligence: Forensic Audits & Evaluating The Rent Roll

When evaluating an investment property, your first job is to determine if the ‘business’ that you are buying is a sound business and one that is what the seller and the broker told you it would be. In other words, you are going to play ‘Quincy, CPA’. You are going to become a forensic accountant.

But wait. That’s not what you signed up for. You were just going to collect rent checks and travel. That’s fine. That’s a great plan and one that you will achieve but before you do, you must learn all aspects of the business.

And the first aspect that you must learn is how to find where the seller buried the bodies. And believe me, there are bodies buried. There always are.

How do you conduct a forensic accounting of the multifamily business if you have never done this before?

Property Management vs. Asset Management: What's The Difference?

Property Management vs. Asset Management: What's The Difference?

Some in the industry claim the line between asset and property management has blurred, as technology, job demands have evolved.

Recently, in an Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) white paper, “Asset & Property Management: A Shifting Dynamic,” John Salustri suggested that “the lines between asset management and property management are blurred.” The argument is worthy of deeper examination.

Bryan Chavis, author of Buy It, Rent It, Profit, breaks it down.

Don't be discouraged if you locate a "perfect" target area, only to find when you start looking for properties that everything is overpriced. That simply means that institutional investors may have beaten you to the area - and once word got out they were buying up property, prices went up. 

This happened to Bryan as well, but he didn't give up. In this special episode, Bryan visits the planet Batuu at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge in search of higher returns in a new market. In this episode, he uses strategic evaluation to find a new target area...in another galaxy.

Finding Your Target Area Using Strategic Evaluation

Finding Your Target Area Using Strategic Evaluation

Just before the first edition of "Buy It, Rent It, Profit!" was published; speculative investors made many major mistakes in the housing market. Speculative investors are people who invest in real estate based on appreciation speculations alone. When the market crashed, they were left holding the bag, and many ended up in foreclosure. This is why Strategic Evaluation is so important, as Bryan explains in this episode.
